Finally, there is an official training video from the [[Maker Hub]] that is tailored to our specific space and equipment. This video will give you the information you need to perform the live solder demonstration required for your soldering certification.

This nostalgic set of [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 videos] from PACE are quite old, but surprisingly still quite relevant. The style makes you think that you will be getting ready to watch an old Disney cartoon - you aren't. Don't get disappointed.

==== Basic Soldering Lesson 1 ====
===== Basic Soldering Lesson 1 =====
This is by far the longest of the videos at (20:44), but also packed with the most pertinent information. It provides great background on solder, flux, wetting, and then mechanics of the iron and the joint. We do not have the student handbook that is mentioned. We suspect that you can manage without that.

This video is similar to Lesson 2, but again, great examples of good vs. bad solder joints with wire.

Good explanation of a "semi-clenched" method for soldering an axial-lead component. This technique allows the component to be held in place for soldering without any extra tape or glue (or a potentially burnt finger).

Applying the "clenching" idea to an IC. Typically, we will not use this technique, but will instead hold the part and "tack" these same leads with solder - just to hold it. The rest of the video has great examples of IC's being soldered.

We don't normally see too many of these any more, but again, nice examples of good joints that are similar to components we still use.

Rather than flatpack or planar components, we generally use "surface-mount" now. But, the soldering part is still useful to watch. The techniques are similar. Our PCB's will generally come "pre-tined" and the component leads are already bent, but the rest of the soldering is the same.

Not as technical, but there are some good tips for soldering different things here, as well as desoldering things. There are also a couple of items that should be addressed.

* When soldering the vector board, she does not use flux. This works as the surfaces are clean and there is flux in the rosin-core solder she is using. However, using flux is always recommended.
